Great stay for a business trip - Review of Ibis Sharq Kuwait

Great stay for a business trip

Good value, well organize, clean and with an anexpected excelletnt variety for the Bfast, location is also fine.Once IBIS will get as standard a couple of square meters more per room it will be the best hotel to be chosen.More

Room Tip: No particular position for the room, generally Ibis has std room size, little bit too small

Spent two weeks at the Ibis Sharq Hotel in Kuwait City from 6/6/14 to 6/20/14. This hotel is located in a fairly decent area in Kuwait City and approximately 20 minutes from Kuwait International Airport. This hotel has 19 floor and I was lucky to get a room on this floor with a very nice view of the city.The room I stayed in was very small and consisted of a queen size bed with very little space between the foot board and wall. No microwave in room, only a small refrigerator. Room consisted of an open closet and a writing desk with chair, really cramped for space. Liked the energy saving system for lighting, place your room key in a slot when you come in to power up the lights and remove when you leave the room to turn off all lights. House cleaning was excellent, fresh sheets, towels and water every day. The staff at the front desk was excellent and did everything possible to make you stay enjoyable. Always respond to requests in a positive manner without the puffy cheeks or attitude. The one guy I dealth with at the front desk for most of my two week was Mohammed, excellent worker to have on any staff. Could not remember the names of the others but everyone was smiling and always friendly, refreshing change when coming from the US.The restaurant on the 1st floor had a wonderful buffet breakfast with a wide variety of food at 4.250KD. The firness room on the 2nd floor was ok, only 4 piece of equipment but good enough to keep yourself toned.The hotel is also next to an Indian restaurant, the grand cinemas and a high end shopping complex just behing the hotel, 2 minutes walk. I major problem for US visitors, the power is 240V, not 110V as we are accustomed to in the US. All gadgets must have a transformer indicating 110V/240V if not you are going to damaged it. You also have to have a 3 prong adaptor, different from our 3 prong over here in the US. Get one from the receptionist or from a nearby store. Check in and check out was easy, no unnecessary questions. Overall, my stay at this hotel was enjoyable and would recommend to a friend or stay again.

Room Tip: Higher floors are a bit more noisy due to the AC units on the roof, stay 17 and below and get city view.
No swimming pool at this hotel.

Considering the high price level of hotels in Kuwait,this hotel serves very much for the purpose 'stay with budget,do not pay more' slogan.The room l stayed was ok and had all the basic facilities of a three star hotel.Hotel is close to Al Hamra Luxury Center and all other business contacts in Sharq district.Hotel has a very good restaurant with limited menu but serves very good quality food and drinks.Free Wifi is available throughout the hotel.If you are looking for budget saver hotel with good service and facilities,this is what you are looking for.I totally satisfied with my stay at this hotel.
